Chicago's pop-core quartet Fall Out Boy
(bassist and songwriter Pete Wentz, vocalist Joe Trohman, bassist Patrick Strump drummer Andy Hurley)
emerged from the legion of punks playing melodic music thanks to
Take This To Your Grave (Fueled by Ramen, 2003),
a well-balanced collection of fast/catchy tunes with a general "emo" theme
(The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes,
Dead on Arrival,
Sending Postcards From A Plane Crash).
The idea of turning emo into fun was further refined on
From Under The Cork Tree (Island, 2005), with a more mainstream sound
and ditties
(Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner, Our Lawyer,
Of All the Gin Joints in the World)
that were even less demanding.
The singles
Dance Dance, Sugar and We're Goin Down
made them stars.
Infinity On High (Island, 2007) contains the
single This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arm's Race,
Thriller
and Hum Hallelujah, and showed real musicianship from the band.
Folie A Deux (2008) was there most ebullient collection yet but
with precious few ideas of where to go next.

Il
quartetto pop-core di Chicago Fall Out Boy, formato da Pete Wentz,bassista e
scrittore dei testi, dal cantante Joe Trihman, dal bassista Patrick Strump e
dal batterista Andy Hurley, emerse dalla schiera di punk di musica melodica
grazie a Take This To Your Grave (Distribuito da Ramen, 2003), una ben salda
raccolta di melodie veloci e orecchiabili con tema generale “emo” ( The Patron
Saint of Liars and Fakes, Dead on Arrival, Sending Postcards from A Plane
Crash).
L’idea
della svolta emo nel divertimento fu ulteriormente definita in From Under The
Cork Tree (Island,2005) con più mainstream e canzoncine (Nobody Puts Baby In
The Corner, Our Lawyer, Of All the Gin Joints in The World, Dance Dance) che
erano anche meno esigenti. I singoli li hanno resi famosi.
Infinity
On High (Island, 2007) contiene i singoli This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arm’s
Race, Thriller and Hum Hallelujah e mostrò la vera musicalità della gruppo.
Folie A
Deux (2008) era la più esuberante raccolta ancora ma con poche precise idee di
dove andare dopo.
